Off Topic Hand Forged Whatzit ???

Some type of musical instrument maybe?
Tap it with something. Maybe they hang from strings.
 
If you didn't tell me I would have guessed they were sounding weights for the old river boats before they invented depth sounders with side scan and 3D imaging.
 
At first impression, would believe a balance weight. Those markings to indicate calibrated weight value, ownership or both.
Regardless, neat objects for display.
 
I was thinking they might be weights for decoys, floats, etc. The wedge shape would stick in the mud/bottom and keep it in place.
